anacrusis/ LP

2nd album and their 1st on a full-length LP. 'Anacrusis' is a massive dark monument full of analog tendencies to conquer the dancefloor.. An album of complex coldwave and minimal-synth. Rapidly becoming a cult act, this album will surely become a classic of it's genre, and will hopefully please new and current fans of the band. Another milestone for Rhodes' finest. Paradox Obscur use only hardware synthesizers and everything is performed and recorded in real time without the use of software. Limited to 300 copies.

sleep of reason/ 10"

Doric is the moniker of the purist Stathis Leontiadis (Human Puppets, Exetix, Plexiglas). Being involved in various avant-garde/new-wave music projects since 1996, intrigued by the 'all' analogue mentality of the late 70's/early 80's music field, he is passionatelly commited to vintage synths and machines, creating a very distinctive and specific style and considered by many as a 'specialist'. On this release, the main subject of the record is creative interplay. The 1st side (the 'Asleep' side), includes songs written by the artist alone, using sleep as a metaphor of loneliness and seclusion from the oppressive, everyday society that smothers anything unique under the struggle of daily routine. However, on the 2nd side, Doric mutes his skeptic, internal monologue for a bit and collaborates with 2 very talented and like-minded artists, Pascal & Valisia Odell. Pascal (Foucault, Noisetoy, Ludmilla) is an ingenius multi-instrumentalist and an old friend of Doric and Valisia Odell (Phoenix Catscratch, Strawberry Pills, Father Breath) is one of the most charismatic voices in Greece, with a very distinctive and enchanting vocal hue.This friendship results to the 2nd side (the 'Awaken' side), a critical view of what our society translates into artistic and life success in general. A simplified formula that often leads to bury our most creditable truths, in order to become a pattern, easily readable and understandable by the masses. The overall essence of this record however concludes to a rather optimistic dream of a utopian reality, where everyone can create unobscured. The value of each effort can only be appreciated through time.
Limited to 300 black copies with the distincive Doric handmade artwork,a homage to the Diy. Ethos, an infusion from the past but a promise of a future. Strong !

mithra/ 12"

While a newcomer to the label, Laurent is an established multi-media artist well-known for his work in fields ranging from plastic arts and music to graphic and digital codes. He has been active in the electronic music scene for decades, first emerging from the French underground in the early 80's. However, in recent years, his music has been discovered by a whole new audience of appreciative listeners. This is due in large part to key reissues and new releases of Laurent's archival material, beginning with his popular 2011 full-length vinyl LP on US label Minimal Wave, which was followed by releases around the globe on labels such as Electric Voice, Girouette and Serendip. While Laurent historically has executed much of his musical production under the pseudonym Hot-Bip (a name also used as the title of a 1983 cassette release), the 'Mithra' ep is presented instead under his given name. The 4-song release, which is comprised entirely of new material from the present day, includes 2 different versions of the title track as well as 2 versions of "La Tentation De Saint Antoine". Defying genre-specific categorization, these songs incorporate influences from techno, electro and synth-pop while sounding starkly contemporary and capturing a beautiful subtlety of sound. Philippe's general approach to art is one of research, specifically in addressing perception of signs and symbols. In conjunction with this research, he has always remained open to new technologies, whether composing musical works or creating graphic designs. This tendency is on full display in the 'Mithra' ep, where complex electronic sound design creates a densely synthesized backdrop for hard-hitting, dancefloor-friendly beats. All of this is accompanied by unusual vocal additions (both human and otherworldly) that range from ethereal whispers to robotic, Kraftwerk-styled enunciations. With the 'Mithra' ep, Philippe Laurent has created resolutely original electronic music for modern times. Indeed, the ep reveals an artist with an incredible history working at the height of his impressive skills. Limited edition of 500 copies on grey solid-colored vinyl, with a sleeve designed by Laurent himself & Oleg Galay.

beyond the zero/ LP

Highly anticipated debut album by Brooklyn-based duo Spatial Relation. Through word of mouth, the band has built up an international fan base in the past few years. Spatial Relation's cassette ep 'Thoughtcrime' also was released last year by Infravox Records (Peru), and this was preceded by a split 7" single with the artist Xiu on Peripheral Minimal in 2013. The 8 songs that make up 'Beyond The Zero' were produced, recorded and mixed in the band's home studio from 2012 to 2014. In addition to new titles such as the stand-out singles "Tacit Knowledge" and "Phantoms Of The Future", the album includes the cult hit "Contour Lines", which helped launch Spatial Relation to public attention, and closes with the minimalist favorite "Mysteries Of Chance". All tracks have been mastered with care by the famed Dutch producer and engineer Alden Tyrell. With influences ranging from 80's minimal synth to Skam-styled IDM, Spatial Relation's music draws equally from the early pop work of Depeche Mode and the later electro sounds of Dopplereffekt. Emphasizing hard beats, thick basslines, and hypnotic arpeggios, the minimalist arrangements on 'Beyond The Zero' are geared for maximum effect. Created with a carefully chosen selection of analog electronic instruments, the album pairs the overtly synthetic sounds of hardware with human vocal experimentation. Highlighting deep interests in history and the arts, Lissette's darkly romantic vocals touch on themes of disillusionment and alienation in the post-modern world. With references to geometry, precision, chaos and probability, the lyrics expose a mysterious universe of parallel and intersecting ideas. At times the vocal work is atmospheric, draped loosely over electronic soundscapes; other songs reveal a harder spoken-word style, with staccato rhymes delivered in lockstep with crisp drum-machine rhythms. For fans of experimental dance music, the album is avant-garde yet infectiously catchy, perfectly straddling the line between underground minimal synth and pop-structured new-wave. Limited to 300 copies.

this desolation/ 7"

7" by Irish duo Kubo, who consist of Aidan Casserly (also member of synth act Empire State Human), and Brian O'Malley (also member of Polydroid). This will be the 1st vinyl release by the band, after the initial tape single 'I Dream Electric', on Manchester based label Vocoder Tapes. Kubo pay homage to cubo-futurism, the early 20th century Russian art movement which concerned itself with contemporary concepts of the future and the technological triumph of humanity over nature. Kubo's futuristic synth stylings perfectly fit their name. For lazy comparisons think of 80's synth protagonists, O.M.D & Depeche Mode or even Associates, owing to Aidan's beautifully soaring soulful vocals. But Kubo are more than that, they... Limited edition of 200 copies !

phoenix/ 12"

New 12" by the French electronic pioneer Philippe Laurent entitled 'Phoenix'. A 3-track ep featuring 2 brand new tracks on A-side "Phoenix" and "Agapao". Meanwhile over on B-side, we have the 13-minute electronic opus and highly representative of his early work "Exposition 4", a never before released track from Philippe's extensive archive, and recorded in 1982. The ep is representative of Philippe's latest forays into contemporary synth music, but still with a retro futurist edge and influenced partly by German pioneers Kraftwerk / late 70's kosmische and electro / synthwave acts, fitting into the current enthusiasm for early 80's synth pop and minimal wave. The ep is presented on white vinyl and limited to 300 copies.
